I tried posting this to KiA, but I never realized how many KiA Prime people are blue pilled thinking things will go back to normal after this.
Seeing how most of you here are far more aware of what's going on, I'm going to copy pasta what I posted on Prime before the dumb mods deleted it since most of you aren't rabid TDers but also understand the "bigger picture":
My original post below.
So all the things we warned about 6 years ago has more or less come to fruition, and the safeguards and actions we took to keep it from getting worse has more or less been removed or neutralized to allow unethical behavior, blatant biased news that denigrates gamers and other arbitrary groups is now everywhere. Every gaming urinalist and game development outlet has an Anita Sarkeesian type or 10 working for them. Reddit went from a place where disparate ideologies could bicker with each other to a site where small pockets of "The resistance" (moderates, conservatives) are allowed to stay quarantined in certain areas but the ideological moderation is rampant in other subs.
Youtube, Twitter, etc., the stuff the normies consume that aren't alt-tech have now openly abused Section 230 in open defiance of the current administration. The mask has come off, and we've run out of options at this point at any possible way to enforce full on freedom of expression and speech under the law.
Where do we go from here?
We have alt-tech, but as many of you have realized, alt-tech popularity undermined by the mainstream outlets that try to demonize them. We now have a giant ideological chasm between us moderate lefties and right wingers and the establishment "liberals". It's unrepairable, so where do we go from here?
All the things you "consoom" has been tainted by this stuff. You can only resort to removing yourself from that pool so much until it comes to a point where you are essentially isolating yourself from society, so where do we go from here? If everything has SocJus, if everything has TOSes that violate freedom of expression, then what is left to turn to?
What is practical that we can do tomorrow while continuing our everyday lives on this bucket of a planet we call Earth?
Yeah, I was on the Trump train. It looked like our best shot at it, but it derailed, badly.
The only thing however is that the seed and ideology of right-populism has spread itself to the people. Not to the people in power, but the people themselves now have learned what the tenets of a populist-nationalist ideology are.
While I get that hunkering down and escaping is one way to look at it, take a look at the discussions I had with u/truenationalist and u/lgbtqwtfbbq in your own thread. The genie of right-populism has been let out oftthe bottle. I wonder if those folks who had their voices silenced after the Capitol Hill debacle are going go off into the night, or if things are only going to get worse.
The Uk "Conservatives" somehow got Brexit through even though they're a bunch of bumbling globalists and boomers.
I think the problem is right-populist "awakened" conservatives are too busy living out their lives to participate in any sort of collectivized movement. The MAGA movement was the best shot. It's the libertarian problem, herding cats - everyone is too individualist and freedom-loving to turn into a collective group.
They may be forced to as the left consolidates power. If so, then the left will get the enemy they pretend they are fighting.
And that was because of fear, not support.
This problem fixes itself as the left tries to purge all conservatives from every aspect of life. Either they will submit or fight.
UK Tories have money and corps on their side.
US right populists are broke everyday people with no public support nor money nor political power. Practically a Bakumin shunned slave caste. Worse, they're rural or from city ghettos.
US left populists, commies, rioted for months to great appaluse. Kamala gave them bail money.
In other words, civil war. Because the deep state and globalists have their hands on the pulse of everything. There's nothing else left.
So did the British in their hayday, but the revolutionaries still won. And we did that mainly through the then-equivalent of guerilla warfare.
Worse. What advantages do the populists have? Nothing.
2 Trump supporters shot dead in the streets of Portland and Colorado, 1 unarmed woman shot dead at Capitol, nobody even gives a shit.
The leftists have Wall St, big tech, media, social media, public sympathy, President, House, Congress on their side.
If they're gonna pull a Holocaust I'd imagine it'd be fucking easy. Hell, I bet it'd be banned on reddit. Then KiA1's mods would be cucking it up and pre-censoring it to please the reddit admin overlords.
They do have guns but... damn. Would be a tragedy if it had to get to that part.
Why? We have repeatedly seen our government treat their citizens as cattle. Now almost half the country see the same. Abortion alone since the ruling of roe v wade has killed more than any war. The way we commit atrocities has changed, we may pretend we are more enlightened, but we have just shifted the window not expanded it.

The right are working class with a few rich folks sprinkled in - it doesn't have the same kind of power that the left has at this point.
I understand what you mean, but the only practical way we win the war is if we get some of THEM to come over to us to help us out, and we don't have that. Yet anyway.
The right is all soldiers and no generals, supply chain, or logistics.
Man, I only got to talk to you today and I can't get over the fact that underneath that silly and hilarious name I genuinely enjoy seeing the ideas and posts you have to offer.
I know it sounds like knobgobbling but I'm starting to like this place as I move away from Reddit.
It's so strange. 6 years ago I'd be thinking "oh it's those silly right wingers from KiA that got banned" but here I am, my ideology has honed itself and now you could say I'm quite... "woke" on this how nationalism/populism thing and now I get it.
The problem is that when the right goes it's going to be an off/on switch. There's very little in the middle there.
Plenty of us aren't going to the gulags. We remember the lessons we learned from this shit before.
Trump was always going to derail the train. The question was would it be enough to keep it from going off the cliff...and the answer was no it wasn't. Off the cliff we go. Things are going to get worse and rapidly.
